Columbus, Ohio (SatireWire.com) – Forty-two-year-old accounting executive Marvin Cohen had a rear spoiler installed on his four-door Volvo S80 sedan yesterday in the mistaken belief that it would somehow make him look daring.

The error was pointed out by Cohen’s 17-year-old son, Ethan. “Dad,” said the clearly embarrassed youth, “you put a spoiler on a Volvo?”

“Pretty racy, huh?” his father growled.

“Yeah, I think the racy part is cancelled out by the Volvo part,” countered Ethan, before jumping into his 1978 Trans Am in an attempt to leave the scene.
